Mr. Speaker, we understand that the forest is part of the DNA of our country and that the forestry workers who have worked in this industry are important. Not only are we investing in the industry, but we are in the process of considering and developing new technologies because we want to help the forestry industry. We want it to have a future not only in the 20th century, but also in the 21st century. We are working with our international partners and with innovative companies. The people watching us know that we will always be there for workers in the forestry industry.

Mr. Speaker, the average income in Calgary Forest Lawn is $35,000. The average person in Calgary Forest Lawn can only dream of having an income of more than $250,000 a year. However, their MP thinks that the average person earning $35,000 in Calgary Forest Lawn should pay tax at a higher rate than a multi-millionaire making a profit of more than $250,000 a year. That is shameful.
